Welcome to Lakeside Country Park, 60 acres of lakes, wet
meadow and woodland situated along Wide Lane between Eastleigh and
Southampton.
These restored gravel works offer the ideal day out for all, and
for the keen-eyed, the Country Park has a range of birds, insects
and small mammals as well as the occasional fox and deer. Enjoy a
walk around with your dog on the designated paw trail or stop
and have lunch at one of our picnic sites. Relax with a days
fishing, or a fun ride on the train, or just watch the world go
by...
